Shiva Rea continously champions the meeting place of the ancient and post-21st Century. In this collection of tracks, she calls upon the skills of Pathaan, a globe-trotting DJ famous in the UK and beyond for his Stoned Asia collection. The result: a vibrant musical palette of World Music and Electronic vibes that mesh seamlessly. Much like the Vinyasa yoga she teaches, Shiva and Pathaan's collection has a natural arc, mirroring the heartbeat of a Yoga practice. The opening tracks dawn like the morning sun, and build in heat and intensity. Amniotic's _Electric Sheep_ and Prem Joshua's remixed _Mangalam_ create the energetic spectrum of opening vinyasa and sun salutations. _Dub It_ from Gaudi, tracks from Govinda, Ikarus, and Karsh Kale stoke the fires necessary to sustain the standing poses and arm balances of a practice. And _Dreamcatcher_ from Bahramji and Maneesh de Moor, and others close the practice, deepening into the flow and opening into Relaxation.
This is a must CD for all Vinyasa flow practices. A perfectly balanced blend for all levels of Classes.
